MACHINE FOR MAKING BED-PINS.

Speccaton of Letters Patent No. 10,859,A dated May 2, 1854.

T 0 all whom t may concern Be it known that I, C R'rrs GODDARD, ofEdinburg, in the county of Portage and State of Ohio,have invented a newand useful Machine for Making Bedstead-Pins, Clothes-Pins, &c.; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the construction and operation of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-Figure l is a perspective View of the machine. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection of the hollow mandrel full size for making bedstead pins. Fig. 3is a transverse section of said mandrel showing at what angles thecutters should be set and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of themandrel as used for making clothes pins; like letters referring tocorresponding parts in the several figures.

In Fig. l a a c a is the frame of the machine; b is the body of themandrel; f is a cutter for taking the corners from the stick andbringing it to the size :for the head of the pin; g is a cutter forcutting the small part of the pin (the cutters f and g are made similarto those Vused in hollow mandrels for making broom handles &c.).

o in Fig. l is a cutter for cutting the corner from the small end of theclothes pin; c is a movable cutter turning on a pivot e in such lamanner that when the end of the pin y? presses the cutter at i the end mis forced down and cuts (by means of a V shaped edge) the part of thehead n. The cutter c is so formed that centrifugal force throws the endm out when the pressure is removed at i; the pin is then removed and cutoff with the saw Z which is hung in a frame vibrating upon the shaft 79and is worked by the treadle by means of a cord over a pulley at 1 orother ways; the stick is then inserted again, &c.

l/Vhat Iclaim as my invention and wish to secure by Let-ters Patent is-The combination of cutters in the hollow mandrel with the movable cutteroperated by the pin pressing the cutter at z' or by a disk of metalmoved .by the pin or other ifneas substantially the same as herein setort CURTIS GODDARD.
